Another Old lltiio Answers Special Sunday Trains The Last Roll Call the Seashore via aw""" to In the death of William Ross Chesson, which occured at his home in Lee's Mills Township, this county, on Wednesday last after a protracted illness of sev eral years, Washington County loses one of its best .citizens. Mr. Chesson, up to just a few years ago was one of the leaders in all that meant for the betterment of his people. Prominent in soc ial life as well as in politics his name was known far and near. In early life he learned to love the life of the farmer and made it his life-long profession and' we may well say a success, for in good years and bad years Bill Ross Chesson lived at home and boarded at the same place. He never cared for public life, yet when his country needed and called for his services in time of peace or war he was ever ready to answer and always made good. When in -'61 the call for men was made to defend our Southland., he, with o'hers an swered an offered his young life on the alter of his country, and 'twas such as he that made old Co. "H" N. C. Volunteers so famous. Under the leadership of Capt. Stuart L. Johnston, he en listed and went to the front where by bravery and obedience to military discipline he soon won the rank of Liutenant. Af the bloody strife and Co. "H", or what was left of it, returned to the old home, he went back to his father's farm below Mack ey's Ferry, where he began life all over again under the depres ed conditions that existed at that time. Mr. Chesson was active as we have said in social and public life and was a great factor in re building the New South, which work he began at home before thejast rays of the camp fires of civil strife had ceased to flicker. In 18 his people called him to serve them in the Senate halls of the State Legislature. As. a farmer and as a soldier he made good, as a legislator his every move, was for the good of the state. He being a farmer, his la bors, of course, were in the in terest of that class, which must be the interest of all classes. Later he represented his county in the lower house. At the ripe old age of 72 years he answered the last roll call. All that is mortal of William Ross Chesson -is consigned to the nar row limits of the tomb, and his spirit is wafted home to the God who gave it, henceforth to march with the victorious hosts of the King, leaving to his three sons and one. daughter and a host of friends the blessed, heritage, a good name.
